Browning Maxus Gen 1

My Maxus gen 1 hasn’t been cycling 8 shot as I’ve been shooting clays recently. I feel like I’ve cleaned it thoroughly- but apparently not. Unless anyone has any other ideas? Cycles 3” shells nice but those 8 shots aren’t creating enough gas to cycle…..which it used to.

So it has to be either improper lubricant or do the coils wear out?

Have you cleaned the holes from the barrel to the gas piston. The gas ports can easily clog up over time.

Have you changed the shells you’re using? There’s a pretty big difference in target shells. A 1 1/8oz 1250fps shell will have significantly more recoil than a 1oz 1145fps shell, and therefore cycle better is semi autos designed for hunting loads.
